drink away the pain used to be a favorite but I think my taste in verses has changed since then ("it's this whole metaphor about consumerism do u SEE")
temperature's rising is another good one ...

yes every track on this is good and i think we could have a good conversation about every track on here but i don't think i need to listen for a week before voting for "survival of the fittest"

my biggest question about mobb deep is whether i would take "survival of the fittest" or "got it twisted" to a desert island w/ me

"Trife Life" probly but I'm gonna listen right thru again before I vote. Great as it is this ain't my favourite Mobb Deep album really, or at least my favourite tracks aren't on it.

Weird thing is my favourite thing about Cann Ox and Mobb Deep is production, but then MD's productions are better too and as far as flow go MD is like a thousand X CO.

"Shook Ones" conjures up too many personal memories for me to judge fairly.

memories of times you were shook?

wow this is hard i'm gonna have to give it a spin
i'm leaning toward up north trip since the last verse on it is my favorite on the album

tough call for me; shook ones is the obvious choice but i had to go with give up the goods because it's just so relentless all the way through; shook ones can only go downhill after the intro and p's verse
i got lots of love for my crew that is no love for those other crews of rival kids

hey, not knockin that track or havoc's verse; for me, at least (trademark ilx caveat, i know) the song just can't sustain those opening two minutes -- to be fair nothing can. it's just too much, the hi-hats, that synth sound, the first queasy lurch of the bass after the first snare hits, and then that first verse ...

this album does not have one wack song.
drink away the pain comes close but only cos q-ip forgot the theme of the song. youd think being exec producer of the album, he would know what each song was about.
― titchyschneiderMk2, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 21:30 (fifteen years ago) link
this is the best soundtrack for the morning after you played a free show at some shit record store in northeast minneapolis after working 12 hours and for your trouble some asshole hipster fuck steals your guitar player's guitar.

perfect album to listen to after a nine hour shift at a busy-ass starbucks. too old/tired to go out. too wired to sleep. feelin' bitter. album is both chill and unsettling

love the beat on this so much. the part at the end where havoc is cutting-up all the tracks and the drums kick back in sounds SO TOUGH.
